Ninety Years Old

I know it's time for you to let go
I can't hold you back
I've already tried that
You made up your mind to leave this world
To be ninety years old
And still a little girl

When I was young you were my world
And my galaxy nothing it seems
Could break down the lock
Between a boy and his mother
It's beauty unfurled
When you're ninety years old
And just a little girl

I already miss you, I know
It's time for me to let go
Time for you to lay down and sleep
I don't know where that leaves me
All that I know is I could never let you go
Even though you're ninety years old

It's with your voice I sing
All the music you bring on and on and on
Let it play till you're gone
What do I do with all this love?
Now that you're no longer here
It's all secrets and swirls
When you're ninety years old
And still a little girl

Oh, just a little girl
